Does not meet all of the requirements necessary for controlling
the influence of extraneous variables.
While a true experiment includes Pre-post test design
A treatment groupand a control group Random assignment of study participants
quasi-experimental studies lack one or more of these design
elements. Most common criteria not met is random assignment.

Quasi-experimental design involves selecting groups,upon which a variable is tested, without any random pre-selection processes.
For example, to perform an educational experiment, aclass might be arbitrarily divided by alphabetical selectionor by seating arrangement. The division is oftenconvenient and, especially in an educational situation,causes as little disruption as possible.
After this selection, the experiment proceeds in a verysimilar way to any other experiment, with a variable beingcompared between different groups, or over a period oftime.

There are two varieties
1) Intact individual design
2) Self selected experimental group design

This Design is most applicable when we cannot know
when and whom to introduce the treatment but we
can decide when and whom to measure.

A time series design introduce repeated observations
before and after the treatment and allows subjects to actas their own controls.

Especially in social sciences, where pre-selection
and randomization of groups is often difficult, they can be very useful
in generating results for general trends.
E.g. if we study the effect of maternal alcohol use when the mother is
pregnant, we know that alcohol does harm embryos. A strict
experimental design would include that mothers were randomly
assigned to drink alcohol. This would be highly illegal because of the
possible harm the study might do to the embryos. So whatresearchers do is to ask people how much alcohol they used in their
pregnancy and then assign them to groups.

Quasi-experimental design is often integrated with
individual case studies; the figures and results generated
often reinforce the findings in a case study, and allow
some sort of statistical analysis to take place.
In addition, without extensive pre-screening and
randomization needing to be undertaken, they do reduce
the time and resources needed for experimentation.

Without proper randomization, statistical tests canbe meaningless.
For example, these experimental designs do nottake into account any pre-existing factors (as for the
mothers: what made them drink or not drink alcohol),or recognize that influences outside the experimentmay have affected the results.
A quasi experiment constructed to analyze theeffects of different educational programs on two
groups of children, for example, might generateresults that show that one program is more effectivethan the other.

These results will not stand up to rigorous statistical
scrutiny because the researcher also need
to control other factors that may have affected the
results. This is really hard to do properly.
One group of children may have been slightly more
intelligent or motivated. Without some form of pre-
testing or random selection, it is hard to judge theinfluence of such factors.
